The cause of the fire is under investigation. While the immediate needs of the family are being met, there are a number of ways to help the family. An account has been set up at Oahe Federal Credit Union under the name Kerr Family Benefit. A GoFundMe account has also been set up and donations can be made via Venmo (Steven-Kerr-88). In an ironic twist of fate, the family dog who alerted to the fire, Sophie and rescued the Kerr Family, is a rescue dog, adopted by the Kerrs.
